I am using the Revolution Blog theme (style sheet (http://jeremycaverly.com/style.txt)) for WordPress and attempting to get my border areas to look like this:
http://jeremycaverly.com/backgroundwanted.jpg

I've gone in and uploaded the new image (http://jeremycaverly.com/bg.gif) to the images folder within the theme as bg.gif.

Unfortunately, my styling still just looks like this:

I'm guessing this is a SUPER simple fix and was hoping you could either offer assistance or shoot me a link to a resource that would explain it.

Hi there,

Really cant solve this without a link to your site (tried going to jeremycalvery.com and got a coming soon message) or all of your code (would prefer a link).

Best Regards,

Drew

Looks like the path to your background image is wrong. In the stylesheet, you have the path as 'images/bg.gif' but in your description it's just 'bg.gif'.

Try either removing 'images' from the path, or placing the image in the 'images' folder.

OK, I can't give a link to the actual site because it isn't announced yet and is for a client.

What other code would you need besides the main Style Sheet? It is a WordPress installation with the free "Revolution Blog" theme.

I can post further code if you give me some guidance as to what else you need to see.

As far as the directory, I have the image in the correct directory on the other server that I am using. I only put it in the root of my personal site to show it to you guys so you could see what the full image looks like.

The back end is accessing the bg.gif file correctly because if I go to the site and right click > View Background Image, it shows the full length image. It's like it's there but it's being hidden behind the white of the side bar columns.

Ok, well, without seeing the site it is hard for me to fix problems, but try a z-index on the body to see if it brings it up:

body {
/*your styles*/
z-index:100;
}

That doesn't seem to fix anything.

Here is a live demo of the exact same theme I am running

In FF if I right-click > View Background Image in the upper left corner, I see this raw image
